Depends on what you will use the smartphone for really and what type of interface you like.

Curve:
-Has similar size keyboard to your Treo and no touchscreen or stylus.
-The trackball is easy to use and navigate with

Sorry to hear that too, I have had few problems also. been going on 3 weeks of heavy evaluation and I am keeping it.

The only facts here are your constant distruptions just for the fun of it.

Ra, Ra, Ra....:::cheerleading my wonderful Storm 😎 :::

...and somewhere up above me is a heckler that needs to be escorted out of the forum 🤣


Seriously, you are doing a poor job of convincing me that I need to hate my Storm 🤣

Love it or leave it
